Feb 16, 2014

The "Cobra Spotlight" is a weekly highlight of a student-athlete
at Coker College. Each week we take a different athlete from a
different sport and display some facets to get more familiar with
them. This week we take a look at Chase Spivey, Sammy Song and T.J.
Giczkowski, members of the baseball team.

opportunity to continue playing baseball at the collegiate
level.

What is your best memory at Coker (athletic
related)? Definitely going to the Division II College
World Series last year.

What is your best memory at Coker (non-athletic
related)? Of all things, probably making a half-court shot
at halftime of the men’s basketball game and getting nothing
for it. Go Cobras!

Which athletic team would you play on at Coker other
than your own? Maybe the men’s basketball team
because of the half-court shot, but most likely the track team
because of Schmotzer’s conditioning regimen.
